The Illinois Science and Technology Coalition (ISTC) is looking for volunteers with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise to participate in virtual skills-based mentoring of Illinois high school students through its Mentor Matching Engine (MME) platform. In the upcoming academic semester, we have a real need for mentors in the fields of Environment, Sustainability, & Energy, as we have a growing number of high school students with an interest.
For only one hour per week, mentors can increase exposure to career pathways for students who have been historically excluded from these fields by guiding them through research projects of their choosing in STEM, humanities, sociology, social justice, and more.
